Argonauta Records is proud to announce the first-ever Argonauta Fest London, landing on June 21st for a night fully dedicated to the power of live heavy music, bringing together a diverse lineup of doom, sludge, stoner and psych-driven bands from across the underground scene.

“We are truly excited for this incredible night in London, proudly representing three outstanding artists from the Argonauta Records roster. Each band brings its own unique vision of heaviness, atmosphere and sonic intensity, creating a lineup that fully reflects the spirit of the underground scene we believe in and support every day. Expect massive riffs, immersive soundscapes and a night built for those who live heavy music beyond boundaries”, says Argonauta Records.

Borehead (South London instrumental trio) deliver live performances that feel like a total sensory immersion. Massive psych tinged doom, crushing riffs and expansive soundscapes unfold in slow, hypnotic waves, turning every show into a physical and emotional experience built on volume, tension and atmosphere.

Their shows are loud, unfiltered, and explosive, shifting between crushing weight and warped psychedelic frenzy.

Album Premiere Of Doom/Sludge/Stoner Metallers MASTER CHARGER New Album POSTHUMOUS RESURRECTION

Hailing from the blackest heart of the Midlands, UK-based trio Master Charger deliver a fierce and unmistakable blend of groove-drenched doom, sludge, and blues-laced rock 'n' roll—an explosive sound fans have come to describe as a “Satanic Blues Rumble.” Now signed to Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records, the band is entering a powerful new chapter in their heavy underground journey.

Formed in 2006 from the ashes of earlier semi-successful projects, Master Charger quickly established a name for themselves with their bold and gritty sonic identity. Their discography includes the crushing debut Unity in Black (2011), the hard-hitting Eroding Empires (2016), and the dark and brooding Origin of the Lugubrious (2020). Over the years, their relentless live energy has seen them share stages with titans of the genre such as Monolord, Orange Goblin, Black Rainbows, Conan, Raging Speedhorn, Fireball Ministry, Dead Witches, Overkill, Alunah, and Paradise Lost. They've also left their mark on major underground festivals including HRH Doom vs Stoner, HRH Metal Chapter III, and Hammerfest XI.

Drawing inspiration from the pioneering heaviness of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Motörhead, while channeling the raw aggression of Slayer, Venom, Celtic Frost, and Black Flag, Master Charger craft a sound that is both classic and cutting. With echoes of Mountain, Free, Trouble, Saint Vitus, and Pentagram, the band delivers a riff-laden experience that’s both unrelenting and steeped in vintage groove.

Unapologetically loud, fiercely authentic, and always evolving, Master Charger continue to be a driving force in the doom/sludge scene—ready to shake the underground to its core.

Thanks to the cool folks over at Argonauta Records and Grand Sounds Promotion we're excited to premiere this superbly heavy and kick-ass new album which you can listen to below:

Thanks to Grand Sounds Promotion for all of the details.

Posthumous Resurrection will be available to buy on CD/DD via Argonauta Records / Octopus Rising from Friday 02nd May 2025.
